Your craft table is calling!

...and your succulents are screaming in agony.

I got these guys at the end of June as little baby spideys and now their babies are already getting out of control. They don't want to grow leaves anymore. Its all about spitting out babies with these guys and they're only 3 months old.

Like, yeah, I'm happy y'all are healthy and happy but you're starting to block the light to my monsteras now!

My plant has no chill. All his leaves stand straight up, military style, and it's gotten so crowded in the middle there that new leaves can't unfurl on their own and even newer ones are having trouble even getting up there. It's like a crowded elevator that people just keep trying to get into.

Any thoughts on what's making him like this and how I might be able to get him to relax a bit?

Growth has been good and consistent, he's in well-draining soil that gets watered and fertilized appropriately, and he's in a shadier part of an east-facing window.

I saw her at Lowe's while window shopping. She came with a coco coir pole and a big stupid ceramic pot, boosting her price up to more than i wanted to spend. Over the next three weeks I kept seeing her there, sitting in the back of a bottom shelf, ignored, and looking more and more sad and droopy every time I saw her, but i still really wanted her. I already have the white wizard and i intend to get the white knight if i can ever find one, and she's got the cutest little sliver of pink on one of her leaves. 🥰 Well, I finally just went ahead and bought her.

There were three plants, which I separated, and today I discovered the new leaf she was growing is completely dead, probably from sitting on a shelf with no light or water, but her roots all look good and i absolutely love her. It's been 3 days and she's already perked up and is shooting some aerial roots towards her new moss pole. I just hope that rotten leaf doesn't cause any problems.

Just had to share my story about my newest addition to my already overpopulated collection 😆

This is Morgan Treeman. He's been a part of my life for about 20 years or so. I can only imagine after all this time he could/should be much bigger than he is, but unfortunately for him, most of his time with me was while I didnt really know or care about his quality of life, as long as he stayed alive, which he did... though I'll never understand how.

So, I've learned a lot more about proper plant care in the past year or so, seeing it as more of a hobby than just possessing living decorations, and I want to finally do right by Morgan, so I'd like to spruce him up a bit and hopefully get him to grow a little better. I tried googling, but that comes with some mixed results, so I was hoping to find someone here with actual experience that I can respond to with possible follow up questions. There are a few things I'd like to know before I get to work on him.

Just for general info, he gets watered whenever the top few inches of soil are dry. If anything, he would be underwatered because I'm paranoid about root rot. I put him on a rack in the shower early in the day, soak him until I'm convinced he's gotten enough, let him drain until he's stopped dripping completely, and then put him back in his spot.

1. Should I repot? I know they like to be a little rootbound, but he's been living in this pot for a few years now and has had a lot of new growth. I know he could use a better soil mix. I'm doing a major repotting of all my plants, so I have soil, perlite, and orchid bark to work with. I also have several sizes of clear nursery pots to use, but the biggest size is 7 inches. Would that be big enough for him? Should I cut down on some roots if it isnt? Or is it best to just leave him be or replace the soil in the same pot?

2. He grows pretty wildly. I've trimmed off some branches and tied up others that made him too wide for the space he's in. My goal is to get him to grow taller. What is the best way to do that? Also, when i looked up pruning guidelines on Google, it showed that they should have more bare stems towards the bottom, but when I cut any branches, he just sprouts more in the same place (picture 2). I know they're supposed to do this, but how could I stop new growth towards the base to make him more tree-like? Or should I not bother and just let him be more full if he wants to?

3. I'm getting conflicting information on the sun intensity (pictures 3, 4). The app I use to measure says it's optimal at 1000-2000 lux but Google said that's just for maintenance and better growth lies between 5000-25,000. He's at about 6000 and that's on an overcast day. Which one should I trust?

I think that's all I have for now. Sorry about the long ass post, but thanks for bearing with me. Any help is greatly appreciated, as well as general tips and advice. Also, if you have a schefflera and want to show it off, I'd love the inspiration!

I may have gone too far on my evil playthrough.

I'm a little new to pothos, building my collection. I saw this little guy in the store and had to grab him. The tag says pin stripe, but that Google search didnt end well. Can someone tell me what this actually is?

I dont know what i did to anger the RNG gods, but my game simply refused to give me any broccoli seeds during my first fall. By day 3 I had started a daily search through the whole map for green worms and I didnt get a single one until day 26, which, of course, slapped me in the face with powder melon seeds.

Not a single broccoli seed all season.

I swear this game hates me sometimes. So much for year one completion.

Judge me.

For the record, i have pretty severe carpal tunnel and limited feeling in my fingers. I dont know how much this impacts my writing, but hey, I'll use it as an excuse lol

No mods (thanks, Xbox 😒). I've gotten the bus stop, road to Robin's, mountains, and train yard finished. I had to do a video to show everything because, again, Xbox. Opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Somehow the mayor keeps weaseling his way to the top of my friendship list. I dont want him thinking we're besties or anything, so measures were taken.

(Excuse my first attempt... it was more of a test shot. I never use this thing lol)

Little back story: my Mika (pictured: adorable) is about 18-19 years old and I've had her since she was a tiny fluffball. Mika hates being brushed, like truly despises it. She always took good care of herself and her fur was impeccable, so I left her alone and didn't brush her, but now, in her old age, she gave up on that task and became matted. I ended up bringing her to a groomer who did a really bad job at shaving her, but at least she wasn't matted anymore.

Fast forward about 4-5 months and here we are. Her dark fur somehow managed to grow back in, but her lighter colored hair hasn't grown at all. I know that cat's fur can be weird and can grow back a different color or even texture, but I never heard of it not growing back at all.

I just need some hope that my Mikachu isnt going to have to live out the rest of her life with this awful shave job. Am I just being impatient? I dont want the poor girl to have to go through another winter without her warm fur.

Guess we can't keep any pets in the house, cause Haley just kills them.

I got some winter star presents! 🎁 ✨️

I love Marnie. She's so sweet and she looks so cute in her portrait, but her actual character looks like a damn garden gnome. Like, I know its hard to add that much detail into these little pixelated bodies, but damn, give the poor lady a neck ffs.

I guess she got tired of standing out there every day on the off chance that her one passenger wants to go to the desert.

Get your ass up and get to work Pam. I need seeds!
